Several neurochemical changes besides an accumulation of amyloid occur in the brain in individuals with Alzheimer disease. Researchers at IND are developing multiple imaging ligands to better understand the changes occurring in the brain in Alzheimer disease. Imaging ligands to detect changes in the norepinepherine system and neuroinflammation are critical to the development of future medications.
